After watching those videos I understand about the perils of skew chisels. I had no problems at school as I was using them wrongly. I always had then flat on the tool rest with that set to the centre-line.

I also didn't know that gouges should be used held at an angle both in elevation and azimuth, which probably explains why I didn't get on with those.
